Quarry Bay's hidden depths?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

I was in Quarry Bay last week, exploring the waterfront. It's stunning, honestly. But I kept seeing these little alleys branching off from the main streets – tiny, almost secret, filled with these a… more

Those little alleys in Quarry Bay? They're a blast from the past. Hong Kong's a city built on layers, you know? Those lanes are remnants of older settlements, before the big development boom. Think tiny workshops, family businesses passed down for generations... maybe even some forgotten triad hangouts. There probably aren't any official legends, more like whispers and local stories passed down – things about ghosts, secret societies, and maybe even hidden caches of old Cantonese opera records... who knows! It's all part of the charm, really. It's like uncovering a city within a city. You should definitely explore them next time, just be mindful of your surroundings, and maybe don't wander around too late at night. Bring a camera – you might find some incredible photo ops.

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
